Description

BRAKE PAD FOR VEHICLE

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a brake pad, and more particularly, to a brake pad for a vehicle, which extends a damping noise and temperature range and is excellent in durability without a separate shim.

Generally, a brake applied to a vehicle plays a most important role in safe driving. It is divided into a disc brake and a drum brake according to a method of generating a frictional force. In recent years, The disc brake is less susceptible to a reduction in braking force.

The disc brake is designed to strongly press the brake pad operated by hydraulic pressure from one side or both sides of a disc-shaped brake disc rotating together with the wheel instead of the drum to obtain the braking force by the frictional force generated at this time.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional brake pad.

As shown in FIG. 1, the brake pad is composed of a frictional material 10, which is a portion that actually carries actual friction, and a backplate layer 40, which transmits pressure from the hydraulic cylinder.

The back layer 40 is disposed between the back plate layer 40 and the friction material layer 10 to block the heat transmitted to the caliper and improve the feeling of movement. (20).

The lower layer layer 20 has a purpose of reducing the cost by using a raw material less expensive than the friction material layer 10 for the above purposes.

In addition, a wear sensor (not shown) that measures the amount of wear of the friction material layer 10 to prevent wear due to direct friction between the backplate layer 40 and the disk when the friction material layer 10 is worn beyond the limit Wear Indicator 50 may be adhered to the back plate layer 40.

Further, in order to improve the conventional NVH characteristics, a shim 60 is attached to a portion where the backplate layer 40 contacts the caliper hydraulic piston during braking. This restrains the heat generated during braking from being transmitted to the cylinder and also acts as a damper to the noise generated by the vibration.

The padding 60 is manufactured by using a rubber or a steel material having vibration damping properties and then bonded to the back surface of the backplate layer 40. The thickness of the padding 60 is limited to 1 to 2 mm In addition, since the material is also limited to rubber and some steel materials, it is possible to improve the vibration damping property in a specific temperature range in which the vibration damping property is narrow, and when the vibration damping property is out of the temperature range, I had a problem.

Is 0.2 or more in a temperature range of -100 to 300 占 폚 which is wider, and the noise attenuating ability can be improved over a wide temperature range as compared with the conventional case.

The backplate layer 100 may include a gray iron or a dislocation in which precipitates such as graphite are developed in order to obtain the vibration damping performance of the metal, so that the external vibration can be effectively attenuated due to internal energy exhaustion And a steel plate for pressing having vibration damping properties. The back plate layer according to an embodiment of the present invention is preferably manufactured using an Fe-Mn type vibration damping alloy containing 15 to 25 wt% of manganese (Mn) Do.
